Group Discussion: Editing

The Creative Muscle

When asked about the difficulties he must have encountered when sculpting a black of marble into his masterpiece David, Michelangelo famously replied, "It was easy. I just chipped away everything that didn't look like David." But it is that easy? How do you get from the nebulous block of marble to the pristine male figure without cutting away too much, or not enough? What's the difference between editing and polishing? How do you know when something is ready to ship? On this week's Creative Muscle round table discussion, the hosts discuss how to edit your work to make it stand out from the rest. Take a listen to learn how to evaluate your work (and how to evaluate feedback from others), how to find the core message of what you're trying to say, and how to grow in your clarity of vision.
